Specific remarks:

Pre-examination obligations of students are both positively assessed colloquia, 80% of attendance at lectures and exercises, and positively evaluated graphic works. Students who receive positive grades on both colloquiums are exempted from passing the final exam and the number of points won at colloquiums is passed to the points of the exam. Colloquiums are a compulsory check of knowledge. Absence with two colloquiums, negative grades at a colloquium or combination obliges the student to write a seminar paper on one topic of the lectures in the school year and enter to the final exam.
